Chapter 6

A few weeks have passed since Rachel and Santana kissed. That kiss was by far the best kiss either have ever had. Even though things are somewhat getting back to normal for Rachel it has not happened again. Rachel's afraid to bring it up to the Latina and possibly get rejected, though she knows Santana wouldn't do that. Plus Brittany is never far from either one of their sides.

Brittany has barely left Rachel's side unless she know's that Santana is with her. The girls think that Brittany's afraid something may happen to Rachel if she's left alone. She has been a great friend towards Rachel though, just last week she bought her a stuffed duck and told her she didn't want her to feel like she was alone, or be alone when she has a nightmare.

Finn for the most part has stayed away from all three girls and back to chasing after HBIC Quinn Fabray. Rachel thinks Finn might be worried that they will go to the police or something if he tries anything. Rachel's not sure how she feels about it, whether relieved that he's leaving them alone, or scared he might be up to something, or waiting for when he can catch her alone. Santana, even though they haven't brought up the kiss they had, is always by her side so he never gets the chance, which makes Rachel fall even deeper for the sassy Latina.

Regional's are a week away and they all have worked so hard on their choreography, with the help of Brittany and Mike. They finally talked Mr. Shue into doing original songs after Rachel put all her feelings into her song she wrote 'Get it Right'. With everything that has happened, and well hasn't happened again, Rachel thought it best to get it out and what better way then through song.

Santana and Brittany both for the first time in weeks had to leave Rachel's side to make up some work in one of their classes that they didn't share with the Diva. Rachel was in the choir room waiting for the return of her two friends when the last person she ever wanted to see happened to step into the classroom.

"Finn what are you doing here. Santana will be back any minute and I would appreciate it if you would please leave me alone." She tries to get out but her voice breaking towards the end lessens the confidence she was trying to show.

"Rach I just wanted to talk to you that's all. I saw Satan and Brittany leave without you so I thought it was finally my chance." Finn states stepping closer to the brunette causing her to back up against the wall.

"Finn, please leave I don't want to talk to you. I have nothing to say to you ever again so just do us all a favor and leave." Rachel whispers out terrified of the over grown man-child that's inching closer and closer.

"I'm not leaving. I finally have you alone so why would I? " he asks her like its obvious and with a hint of disdain in his voice which makes Rachel cringe.

Rachel tries to get out of his way only for Finn to grab her arm yanking her close to him. "Where do you think your going Rachel? I'm not done with you." Finn hisses out against the singers neck, making her even more uncomfortable as she remembers the last time he was this close to her.

"Let Me Go Finn Hudson!" Rachel tries to scream out, only to have Finn cover her mouth roughly with his hand.

Out in the hall Sue Sylvester was walking by the choir room in search of Streisand since she knew that Santana and Brittany were busy with one of their classes. Sue decided that she would take the initiative to look after the smaller brunette, for when anything or anyone like that Frankenteen man-child tried anything knowing that she was finally alone.

Sue freezes as she hears screams coming from the choir room and barges in the room seeing Finn attacking Rachel with his gross dog like mouth.

Rachel tries to push Finn off her again only to have him trace his hand up her skirt. Not noticing another presence in the room, Rachel is mildly shocked when she hears the voice yelling belonging to none other than Sue Sylvester.

Sue seeing what was going on in front of her becomes so livid. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING GIGNATOR! GET THE HELL OFF OF RACHEL!" she yells at the idiot just standing there staring at her.

Finn doesn't move and Rachel just shrinks down into herself, so terrified that he was going to rape her again. Couple that along with the shock that Sue, the evil cheerleading coach she thought hated her, just said her name. Rachel's chest starts to constrict, it's becoming harder for her to breathe. The last thing she remembers is Sue throwing Finn out of the classroom before it all became black.

After throwing Finn out of the room, Sue carefully picks up Rachel and takes her to her office, laying her down on her couch. While the singer is still unconscious Sue makes a personal call home to her wife to fill her in on what was going on.

While Sue was still on the phone, Rachel slowly starts to wake up and notices she is in the cheerleader coach's office. She hears Sue saying the name Shelby and something about her and she starts breathing hard again hearing the name of her mother come from the coach's lips.

Sue notices the diva is awake and having trouble breathing again and tells Shelby she has to go. Sue hangs up the phone walks around the desk and sits in the chair in front of Rachel.

Rachel looks at the coach. "Wha- why were you talking to Shelby?" she asks Sue quietly, her eyes firmly planted on the floor.

"Stre- Rachel, there's a lot you don't know and I hope that you will understand and let me explain." Sue softly tells Rachel.

"Okay please continue. Why were you talking to my mother, and about me?" Rachel tries again not backing down until she gets her answer.

"Rachel, Shelby is my wife, we've been together since after she had you. She's always been around. I know you met her last year and a lot of things were said, but you have to understand that none of this was because she didn't want you. She's always wanted you and when I found out that you were her daughter, as shocked as I was at first, I can see it. You have your mother's drive and her voice, you look so much like her it's no telling that she is your mother." Sue gets out.

All Rachel can think is Sue's married to my mother wait- "Wait your married to my mother and she's known I was here this whole time. Then why hasn't she been here for me? Why did she leave after our meeting last year? She didn't even let me finish my sentence before she just tossed me aside like I was nothing."

Rachel starts to panic when there's a knock on the door and a familiar women she recognizes as Shelby steps through the door closing it behind her. Shelby walks over to Sue running her hands in her hair while taking the site of her daughter in.

"Hi Rachel. Its been awhile. Are you okay?" Shelby asks her daughter only to get scoffed at.

"Rachel, stop that and please hear Shelby out?" Sue tells her sternly.

"Rachel I'm sorry for last year but forced by contract to not have contact with you. I could not reach out which is why Jesse, after seeing the pain I was in for having you so close and not being able to hold you, gave you the tape. When you showed up in my auditorium that day last year, I was so extremely happy to finally be so close to you but you also seemed so happy that I didn't want to ruin your happiness." Shelby tells Rachel sitting down next to her on the couch only for Rachel to move away.

"How did you know I was here then if Sue never knew until last year? How did you know I was your daughter." Rachel asks her looking at her earnestly.

"At sectional's that year when you were up on stage and you burst out singing Don't Rain on my Parade, I just knew you were my daughter. You were so brilliantly amazing and I just wanted to reach out but I couldn't because of the agreement made with your dads." She tells her sadly. "Rachel I'm sorry for what happened then but I can't stay away from you anymore. I want you in my life, you're my daughter."

Before she gets any chance of answering there's a knock on the door interrupting them. Sue gets up answering it met by two of her cheerio's.

"What are you doing here jugs and blonde Barbie." Sue says only for Rachel to get up and throw her arms around the Latina.

"San please get me out of here?" Rachel pleads to Santana as said cheerio glances around noticing Shelby, ex Vocal Adrenaline coach.

"What is she doing here?" Santana says angrily glaring from her coach to Shelby.

"Your Santana right?" Shelby asks bluntly.

"Yeah. What are you doing with Rachel? Coach why is she here? She caused enough problems for Rachel last year." Shelby bows her head shamefully at Santana's accusations.

"If you must know Tits McGee, Shelby is here because I called her. She is my wife and she is her daughter. " she states pointing at Rachel.

"Whatever, we're out of here. Come on Rach let's get you out of here. Wait why are you in coaches office anyway?" Santana asks curiously having Rachel tense up in her arms.

"Rach, baby girl what's going on, what happened?" Santana asks softly.

"Tana, he-he came into the choir room and he was going to-and then Sue came and got rid of him and then I think I passed out and woke up here." Rachel whispers out, trying to hold back her tears and clinging to the Latina with her fist bawled up in Santana's cheerio top.

"Shh, Rae its okay. I think we should go see my dad about you passing out and then go home and get our cuddle on." Santana soothingly tells the diva trying to calm her down by rubbing her back, forgetting about the others around them.

"Excuse me, but we weren't done here." Shelby says getting up from the couch only to have Sue grab her by the arm stopping her.

"Let them go babe. I know you don't want her to go but Rachel isn't able to take much more." Sue tells her wife gently, hoping not to upset her by stopping her attempts to try to help her daughter.

"Okay, fine, you're right." Shelby sighs out turning in Sue's arms.

"Keep her safe S, I don't want to hear about any more problems." Sue tells her captain, sending them on their way.

After the girls leave the office, Sue hooks her finger under Shelby's chin forcing her to look in her eyes. "Lets go home and I'll fill you in on what happened, not just today, but why your daughter is so fragile and only feels safe with Sandbags there." she tells her, taking Shelby's hand and heading out of her office.

Santana's POV

After finding Rachel in Sue's office and with Shelby there, I just want to take Rachel in my arms and never let her go. I don't know how much was said, all I do know is when the door opened, she launched herself in my arms so fast that it worried me about what was going on. I'll ask her later about it though, now I'm just wanting to make sure that everything is alright with Rachel, which is why were at the hospital waiting to see my father.

Brittany is also attached to Rachel's side not wanting to let go of her. I can't help the quenching jealousy feeling I'm getting from Brittany's closeness to her though I know I don't have the right to say anything. I can't even bring up the kiss that Rachel and I shared the other night. I want to and need to but I still can't help but feel like I'd be taking advantage of her in the state she was in and now with Frankenteen almost attacking her again, I don't think it would be right to bring it up.

"San" I hear Rachel say knocking me out of my head just when my father comes into the room.

I walk over to her bringing my left hand up to rub her back as she moves close to my body. "Whats wrong baby girl?" I whisper out kissing her on the crown of her head.

"I don- don't leave me San please stay with me?" she quietly sobs out in my chest throwing her arms around me causing Brittany to frown in hurt not being the one to help Rachel.

"I'm not going anywhere Rae Rae I promise I'm right here sweetie." I assure her continuing to rub circles on her back. "Shh Rach its okay." I pain a smile for Brittany to let her know that everything will be okay again.

"Rachel its good to see you again my dear. Would you be okay if Brittany is in here or would you like her to leave hunny?" My father asks Rachel gently coming over to us taking a seat on his stool.

Rachel looks between the three of us before looking up at me, I'm guessing to see what my opinion is. I hate seeing her this scared or worried again, after just starting to come out of her façade then this has to happen. I lean down whispering in her ear. "It's up to you baby girl. It's just Brittany, you know how she is."

Rachel turns towards Brittany with her hand out asking Britt for hers. Brittany with a mega watt Brittany smile takes Rachel's hand, moving closer to us. Rachel turns back to my father. "It's fine if she stays Dr. Lopez."

"Okay Rachel well I just want to make sure that everything is alright and healing well. As what Santana told me over the phone when she called was that you passed out at school?" he addresses her being his professional self causing me to chuckle lightly.

"Yes sir." Rachel tells him bowing her head not looking at anyone as she continues. "I couldn't breathe and my chest was tightening from..." she trails off causing my father to glance a questioning look towards me.

I just shake my head for him not to ask what I know he's thinking but giving him the pointed look that I will tell him once done.

"Ok have you eaten today? Has this happened before today at any other time?" he asks her as he checks to make sure all her vitals are good.

"I don't believe so Dr. Lopez. I ate this morning but no I didn't eat lunch today I didn't feel good. I threw up my breakfast so I didn't chance it." she answers him.

I cock my eyebrow up at hearing that. She didn't tell me she threw up. Why didn't she tell me she threw up? She should have told me... I'm knocked from my internal rant when I feel Rachel squeezing my hand. I guess she noticed since she's giving me a sheepish look. I just nod my head letting her know its okay.

"Rachel I'm gonna run a few tests since what happened to you okay? Nothing too much okay just going to make sure there's nothing wrong. I'm gonna do a run of your blood since I finally have you at the hospital as well. I think I may do an x-ray on your ribs to make sure everything is alright there. It's not gonna take long and I'll let you know tomorrow about the results I'm sure you just want to go home and crawl in to bed." he tells her authorial.

Rachel stiffens at the tests and x-ray part but nods her head at the rest but not before squeezing my hand almost breaking it. I look over to Brittany to see the sadden pout but angry glint you don't see often in her eyes as she has to hear about what Finnept did again.

After finishing up at the hospital we grab take out before heading over to my house not wanting to chance Finnocense showing up at Rachel unannounced as he did once before. That is if he's stupid enough to chance it after already being caught by the Dragon Lady, Sue Sylvester herself.

The three of us make ourselves comfortable on the sofa seeing as Brittany didn't want to leave Rachel's side once again. I can't help to wonder if Brittany is also falling for the once spit fire diva that stole my heart. I'm thinking I'm going to have to have a talk with her sooner or later but I'll just leave it for now, it could just be Brittany being Brittany. We all know that Brittany isn't one to just out right hate or be mean to anyone, she's just so Brittany.

I chuckle to myself realizing I'm probably just reading too much into things, since I'm too chicken to actually do anything else about my feelings for Rachel now. I know we kissed and that kiss was by far the best kiss I have ever had. Just saying, but it's true. I can't help but to feel like I'd be taking advantage of her after what that monster did to her, especially now bringing it all back up from my favorite little diva all because Brittany and I had to finish a stupid project for a class we didn't share with Rachel. Ugh. I hate myself.

"Sanny are you okay?" I hear Brittany asking knocking me from my thoughts. Damn that seems to happen alot lately.

"What?.. oh yeah I'm okay sorry Britt Britt. Just thinking nothing to much." I let my best friend know as I glance down to Rachel seeing that she is looking at me concerned yet curious. I bet she know's I'm lying to Brittany. Great.

"Oh okay. Lord Tubbington isn't honest with me either anymore. He thinks i don't know it but he started smoking again." I bite back a chuckle from Brittany trying nonchalantly, thinking I wouldn't catch on to her calling me out the way Brittany does.

"I'm sorry Britt Britt I don't want to talk about it now. I have a lot on my mind and after- I just can't stop blaming myself." I whisper out getting up from the couch avoiding both the girls eyes on me.

I could tell Rachel was wanting to object to what I just said but I'm sure she doesn't want to get into it in front of Britt. I head into the kitchen and sure enough Rachel follows me in there. I try not to let her know I know she's there. I don't know how else to feel except to blame myself since Finn got to her again, she was just getting out of the funk she was in and now she's right back there I don't want that.

Rachel's POV

I can't believe what I'm hearing out of Santana's mouth now. Why would she blame herself it's not like she can be by my side 24/7, though I know she would. I have to talk to her, oh she's going to the kitchen. I tell Brittany I'm gonna go talk to Santana while she picks out a movie and we'll join her in a few minutes.

When I walk into the kitchen I know she know's I'm here because I see her tense a bit before she goes over to the window and stares into the backyard. I slowly make my way over to her and place my hand on her shoulder to get her attention.

"San whats wrong. You know as well as I do that this isn't your fault none of it is." I let her know gently not moving my hand from her shoulder.

She turns around locking her eyes on mine and I can see the pain in her beautiful mocha eyes that I love. "Rachel how- I know it's not my fault but this today if I didn't leave you alone he would have never approached you. I was away from you for the first time since it happened and he got to you. What if.."

"Santana stop it." I try to cut her off from what she was going to say.

"...Sue never walked by the chorus room what would've happened to you...It sick-"

I cover her mouth with my hand. "Santana stop it alright. Nothing more happened then him scaring the shit out of me. He was just about to...again and Sue did show up I'm not sure what else happened since I obviously passed out from everything. I'm alright though." I let my hand slide from her mouth caressing her cheek with my thumb. "I'm right here San see I'm fine. Yeah I was scared...but I never thought for a moment that it was your fault so stop it now. Please Tana don't feel responsible for him being an ass!" I tell her sternly before turning around walking over to the counter trying to fight the tears trying to break free from my eyes.

I feel Santana come up behind me cautiously putting her hand on my shoulder to try to get me to turn around. "Rae I'm sorry its hard I just care so much about you I don't like seeing you in pain or anything. You were just getting back to yourself baby girl from what he did and now this has happened I don't want to see you sinking back in yourself.." she whispers against my neck causing me to gasp at the familiar feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"Tana" I whisper out moving from her space. "please don't San it's like your..." I trail off turning around looking over at her from a safe distance.

"Rach what like I'm what?" She asks softly stepping towards me not taking her eyes off mine.

I down cast my eyes so she can't see the want and pain I know is there. "I can't.." I get cut off as Brittany comes bouncing into the kitchen.
